FIRST  AND  SECOND  SETTLEMENTS. 

The  history  of  the  town  of  Gray  begins  with  the  granting 
of  a  township  to  Thomas  Gray,  and  others,  in  the  year  1735. 
The  traot  of  hind  selected  by  these  men  was  called  New  Boston 
after  about  1^56,  which  name  it  bore  until  the  date  of  its  incor- 
poration, 1778,  when  the  name  of  Gray  was  taken  in  honor  of 
the  early  land  proprietor. 

Settlement  was  begun  in  1750.  In  1756  the  proprietors 
made  a  report  of  the  progress  of  the  settlement  to  the  legisla- 
ture, in  which  they  stated  that  they  had  laid  out  63  lots  of  60 
acres  each  for  settling  lots,  and  built  a  meeting-house,  erected 
36  dwelling-houses  and  cleared  a  part  of  the  lands,  as  required 
by  the  conditions  of  the  grant;  but  that  they  had  been  put  to 
very  great  expense  and  suffering. 

The  settlers  lived  in  constant  fear  of  hostile  Indians.  On 
May  17,  1755,  the  settlement  was  surprised  by  a  large  number 
of  savages  who  destroyed  the  cattle,  burned  the  meeting-house 
and  all  the  dwelling-houses  and  obliged  the  settlers  to  flee  to 
places  of  safety. 

After  peace  was  concluded  with  the  Indians,  some  of  the 
inhabitants  returned  and  erected  a  new  meeting-house,  as  well 
as  a  block-house,  50x25  feet,  around  which  they  erected  a 
garrison  one  hundred  feet  long  and  seventy-five  feet  wide. 
This  was  supplied  with  military  stores. 


6  Gray,   Maine 

Thomas,  the  father  of  Moses  and  Jeremiah  Twitchell,  came 
from  Westboro,  Mass.,  about  1762,  and  kept  a  camp  for 
British  marines  and  workmen  engaged  in  cutting  masts  and 
hauling  them  to  the  falls  below.  In  1764  his  family  was 
settled  here  with  him,  and  they  may  have  come  at  the  same 
time  he  came.  Maj,  Jabez  Mathews  and  Wm.  Webster  oame 
soon  after. 

The  re- settlement  was  continued  by  John  J  en  ks,  William  and 
Joel  Stevens,  Daniel  Cummings,  Daniel  Hunt,  Thomas  Twitch- 
ell, John  Humphrey  and  Capt.  Jonas  Stevens,  whose  daughter, 
Kuth,  was  born  in  1764.  She  afterwards  married  James 
Doughty.  The  first  male  child  born  in  the  town  was  Daniel 
Cummings,  born  October  6,  1766.  He  was  the  grandfather  of 
Samuel  Cummings  living  one  mile  north  of  Gray  village.  The 
bond  under  which  Jethro  Starbird  received  his  land,  in  1768, 
required  that  on  or  before  the  12th  of  April,  1769,  he  should 
have  built  "a  good  dwelling-house  18  feet  square,  have  at 
least  6  acres  of  land  cleared  and  brought  to  English  grass  tit 
for  mowing,"  and  shall  pay  one-sixtieth  part  of  the  expense  of 
building  a  meeting-house  and  settling  a  Protestant  minister 
Samuel  Hawes  and  Jabez  Hatch  were  contractors  for  the  pro- 
prietors. 

John  Barber,  John  Wilson,  James  Russell,  Daniel  Haney, 
Mark  Merrill,  Sergt.  Samuel  Thompson,  Lieut.  David  Small, 
John  Nash,  David  Libby,  Gideon  Ramsdell,  Jedediah  Cook, 
and  Joseph  and  Samuel  Webster  settled  previous  to  1780.

INCORPORATION. 

Gray,  the  thirty-ninth  town  of  Maine,  was  incorporated 
June  19,  1778.  The  first  election  was  held  at  the  meeting- 
house which  stood  in  the  street  near  the  present  town-house, 
July  13,  1778,  under  a  warrant  issued  by  the  Hon.  Enoch 
Freeman,  J.  P.,  to  Jabez  Matthews,  who  was  chosen  moderator 
of  the  meeting.  David  Clark  was  chosen  Town  Clerk; 
William  Webster,  Daniel  Libby,  Daniel  Cummings,  Selectmen 
and  Assessors;  David  Orne,  Treasurer;  Nathan  Merrill,  Thomas 
White,  Richard  Hayden,  Committee  of  Safety:  Joseph  Weeks, 
Constable;  Daniel  Libby,  Jeremiah  Hobbs,  Church  Wardens;

to  furnish  the  meeting-house,  $500  for  highways  and  $3  per 
day  fixed  as  wages  for  a  man  or  yoke  of  oxen;  £4  was  appro- 
priated for  a  public  school  and  $50  to  build  a  pound. 

In  1779  prices  were  regulated  by  vote,  making  a  day's 
work  48s.;  imported  potatoes  and  turnips,  £l-10s.;  leaf  tobacco, 
12s.  per  potmd;  victuals,  12s.  a  meal;  and  "licker,  12s.  a  mug!" 
In  1780,  $22.50  a  day  was  allowed  laborers  on  public  roads. 
Representatives  in  General  Court  were  seldom  chosen,  unless 
they  could  volunteer  to  pay  their  own  expenses. 


8  Gray,  Maine 

The  church,  which  was  erected  soon  after  the  second  settle- 
ment was  made,  was  used  as  a  town-house  for  many  years.  The 
present  brick  town-house  was  erected  by  David  Carey,  at  a  cost 
of  $1200,  and  first  used  March  5,  .1838,  when  "church  and 
state  dissolved."  This  building  remains  practically  the  same 
today  as  at  the  time  it  was  put  up.  It  is  located  in  the  corner 
of  the  large  cemetery.

INDUSTRIAL    ACCOUNT. 

The  first  commercial  industry  established  in  this  town  was 
that  of  cutting  masts  by  the  British  marines.  Soon  after  the 
second  settlement  was  begun  a  mill  was  erected  at  the  falls,  a 
short  distance  below  the  old  factory,  and  it  was  here  that  the 
important  industry  of  lumbering  began,  to  which  the  pioneers 
gave  so  much  attention  during  the  days  when  there  were  ex- 
tensive forests  of  valuable  pine  and  other  lumber  to  draw  from- 
This  mill  was  opei*ated  as  early  as  1778  by  Jabez  Mathews. 
Saw  mills  sprung  up  in  all  parts  of  the  town  and  continued 
extensive  operations  for  many  years. 

The  greatest  individual  industry  ever  operated  within  the 
borders  of  the  town  of  Gray  was  the  Falmouth  Woolen  Mills, 
established  about  1800  by  Samuel  Mayall,  an  Englishman.  He 
came  to  this  locality  and  settled  on  the  river,  built  a  dam,  and 
the  two  brick  woolen  mills  which  are  said  to  have  been  the  first 


Gray,  Maine  11 

woolen  mills  ever  operated  in  the  United  States.  At  first  he 
manufactured  only  in  a  small  way.  One  of  his  methods  was  to 
buy  wool  from  the  farmers  throughout  all  the  surrounding 
section,  exchanging  manufactured  cloth.  This  method  must 
have  been  appreciated  by  the  busy  housewives  to  whom  in 
those  days  generally  fell  the  laborious  task  of  spinning  and 
weaving  for  a  large  family.  After  his  death  Wilson  &  Thomas 
carried  on  the  business.  Beatty  and  Alpine  was  the  next  firm 
to  operate  the  plant,  and  later  William  Beatty  carried  on  the 
business.  Nothing  has  been  done  here  for  many  years.  One 
of  the  mills  stands  complete,  the  other  was  burned  a  long  time 
ago. 

Samuel  Mayall,  son  of  the  founder  of  these  mills,  was 
Gray's  only  representative  to  Congress,  serving  in  the  33d.,  in 
1853,  as  a  Democrat.  Among  the  measures  he  introduced  was 
one  providing  for  the  purchase  of  the  slaves;  the  bill  was  killed 
as  being  enormously  expensive. 

The  first  edged-tool  maker  here  is  said  to  have  been  Jonas 
Doughty.  Theophilus  and  Woodbury  Stimson  were  plow  makers 
and  axe  makers.  They  engaged  in  these  lines  of  business  for  a 
long  period  of  years,  during  the  last  of  which  they  manufactured 
axes  only.  Leonard  Curamings  was  engaged  in  manufacturing 
edged-tools  for  some  years  after  learning  the  trade  with  Jonas 
Doughty. 

Another  early  industry,  as  testified  to  by  many  substantial 
brick  buildings  in  town,  was  brick-making. 

A  tannery  was  established  in  the  town  in  1800,  by  Stephen 
Furbish.        In  1856  this  was  sold  to    David    Cummings    who 


12  Gray,    Maine 

operated  it  for  several  years,  when  it  was  finally  discontinued. 
PRESENT   INDUSTRIES. 

The  chief  occupation  of  the  men  of  Gray  at  the  present 
time  is  the  cultivation  of  their  generally  fertile  farms.  Some 
stock  is  raised  and  many  of  the  farmers  sell  their  cream  to  the 
creameries  located  in  the  surrounding  towns. 

The  mechanical  industries  are  mostly  saw  mills,  of  which 
there  are  two  at  Gray  Village,  and  one  each  at  East  Gray, 
North  Gray,  West  Gray,  Dry  Mills,  and  Douglasville;  there  is 
also  a  grist  mill  at  the  village,  and  two  at  East  Gray.  At  East 
Gray  Goff  Bros,  are  operating  a  brick  yard.  About  the  middle 
of  the  last  century  much  attention  was  given  to  the  manufacture 
of  shook  and  staves. 

J.  T.  Merrill's  steam  saw  and  grist  mill  was  established  by 
him  in  18S3  as  a  shingle  and  grist  mill  operated  in  connection 
with  his  store.  Mr.  Merrill  put  in  a  board  saw  about  1888 
which  has  been  in  steady  operation  until  the  present  winter. 
Mr.  Merrill  intends  to  open  the  mill  again  in  the  spring,  con- 
tinuing the  saw  and  grist  business. 

Frank  N.  Douglass'  saw  and  stave  mill,  was  built  by  the 
present  owner  a  few  years  ago.  This  is  a  steam  mill,  employ- 
ing an  average  of  12  men  during  the  year.  At  present  staves 
are  being  manufactured  largely,  but  this  is  primarily  a  long 
lumber  mill. 

The  sawmill  at  West  Gray  was  built  and  run  by  R.  A. 
Allen,  and  has  done  good  business  until  the  death  of  Mr.  Allen 
two  years  ago.  The  store  at  this  place  was  run  for  60  years  by 
Mr.  Allen,  who  also  served  as  postmaster  for  many  years. 


Gray,  Maine  13 

The  Dry  Mills  steam  mill  was  built  in  1845  by  Joseph 
Libby,  he  was  (succeeded  by  his  son,  the  present  owner,  who 
took  the  business  and  operated  it  until  about  a  year  ago  when 
his  son-in-law  took  the  business.  Around  450,000  feet  of 
lumber  is  manufactured  each  winter,  employing  25  men  in 
both  the  mill   and   lumber  camps.        There    is  a  shingle   mill 

connected. 

Mr.  Libby  also  owns  the  mill  at  North  Gray,  which  is 
operated  by  water  power.  This  mill  is  under  the  supervision 
of  Mr.  Cummings,  and  manufactures  all  kinds  of  lumber,  turning 
out  about  20,000  feet  a  week. 

The  saw  mill  at  Douglasville,  (or  Suckerville,)  was  built  in 
1859  as  a  steam  and  water  power  mill,  but  is  now  operated 
entirely  by  steam.  "In  1896  this  mill  was  burned.  It  was  at 
once  -rebuilt  by  Mr.  M.  C.  Morrill,  the  owner;  this  new  mill 
was  burned  before  being  completed,  when  Mr.  Morrill  put  up 
the  present  temporary  mill  which  he  contemplates  replacing 
with  a  larger  and  a  permanent  one  in  the  near  future. 

CHURCH  AFFAIRS. 
CONGREGATIONAL   SOCIETY. 

The  first  meeting  house  in  town  erected  by  the  first  party 
of  settlers,  is  thought  to  have  stood  in  the  north-eastern  part  of 
the  town.  This  was  burned  by  the  Indians.  The  second  house 
of  worship  was  built  soon  after  the  second  settlement  was 
begun,  and  stood  on  or  near  the  site  of  the  present  homestead 
of  Eugene  Hall. 

The  first  church  organization  was  established  in  compliance 
with  the  requirements  of  the  land-grant,  in  August,  1774.    This 


14  Gray,  Maine 

was  of  the  Congregational  order.  Rev.  Samuel  Nash,  a  graduate 
of  Brown  University,  was  the  first  pastor,  being  ordained  in 
June,  1775.  He  remained  until  September,  1782.  The  second 
meeting-house  erected  was  never  finished  and  in  the  winter  the 
meetings  were  held  in  Joseph  Doughty's  house.  The  church 
was  sold  to  Daniel  Haney  in  1790,  for  £4.  The  old  church 
which  stood  in  the  street  near  the  town-house  was  built  the 
preceding  year  and  stood  until  torn  down  in  1832.  Rev.  Saml. 
Perley,  a  Presbyterian,  became  pastor  in  1784.  He  was  dis- 
charged on  the  dissolution  of  the  Salem  Presbytery,  in  1791, 
after  which  the  church  became  scattered.  In  October,  1803,  a 
council  was  called,  which,  finding  but  two  male  members,  pro- 
ceeded to  reorganize  the  church  as  a  Congregational  body. 
Rev.  Danl.  Weston  was  ordained  pastor  that  year.  Rev.  Saml. 
Peckham  succeeded  Mr.  Weston  in  1825,  and  was  discharged 
in  1830.  During  his  pastorate  the  fourth  church  was  erected, 
and  dedicated  in  1828. 

The  subsequent  pastors  were  Rev.  Thos.  Riggs,  1831  to 
1833;  Rev.  Calvin  White,  1833-37;  Rev.  Nathan  W.  Sheldon, 
1839-43;  Rev.  Allen  Lincoln,  1845-59;  Rev.  Jas.  P.  Richard- 
son, 1859-62;  Rev.  Ebenezer  Bean,  1863-73;  Rev.  Edw.  P. 
Eastman,  1874-75;  Rev.  Herbert  R.  Howe,  1876;  Rev.  E.  Bean, 
1877-93;  Rev.  Henry  O.  Thayer,  1893-95;  Rev.  Edgar  M. 
Cousins,  1896-98;  Rev.  Herbert  L.  McCann,  1899-1904. 

A  centennial  celebration  was  held  last  year,  commemorat- 
ing the  one-hundredth  aniversary  of  the  organization  of  this 
society. 

The  present  handsome  church  edifice  was  dedicated  Jan. 
2,  1901.     This  was  built  at  a  cost  of  around  $7,000,  and    is  a 


Gray,  Maine  15 

fine  modern  building.  This  is  a  strong,  vital,  evangelical 
church,  that  stands  for  the  best  life  of  the  community.  It  has  a 
membership  of  80  whrch  represents  the  working  force  of  the 
organization.  A  union  Christian  Endeavor  society  is  main- 
tained  by   the   young   people  of    this   and   the    Free    Baptist 

societies. 

It  was  from  the  pulpit  of  the  church  recently  demolished 

that  Gen.  Neal  Dow  uttered  his  first  speech  advocating  prohibi- 
tion in  the  state  of  Maine. 

FREE  BAPTIST  CHURCH. 
A  Baptist  society  was  organized  in  Gray  in  1790,  consist- 
ing of  21  members.  The  first  preacher  of  whom  we  have 
record  was  Rev.  Wm.  Merrill,  who  remained  until  1810, 
holding  meetings  at  his  house,  afterwards  the  residence  of 
Hezekiah  Whitney,  two  miles  east  of  the  village.  A  house  of 
worship  was  erected  by  the  Universalists  at  Gray  in  1832,  at  a 
cost  of  $1,500.  In  1855  the  Free  Baptist  society  bought  a  half- 
interest  in  this  building,  and  later  obtained  complete  title.  This 
is  the  church  they  now  occupy.  The  interior  has  been  extensively 
remodeled,  and  the  church  repaired  from  time  to  time,  and  is 
now  a  neat  and  comfortable  house.  A  parsonage,  situated  on 
Greenleaf  St.,  is  the  property  of  the  society,  purchased  about 
1860.  The  present  membership  is  61  resident,  and  25  non- 
resident members.  The  pastors  of  this  church  since  1 850  have 
been  Revs.  David  Newell,  Moses  Foster,  Chas.  Bean,  Wm.  T. 
Smith,  1857;  Dexter  Waterman,  1861;  Moores  Cole,  1863;  M. 
Ricker,  Edwin  A.  Kish,  1864;  J.  M.  Purkis,  1865;  C.  Bean, 
1868;  Joseph  Fobs,  1869;  F.  Reed,  1874;   Wm.  T.  Smith,  1876;

A.  L.  Morrey,  1880;  Arthur  P.  Wormwood,  for  fourteen  years; 
H.  A.  Childs,  J.  P.  Roberts,  and  Frank  Pierson,  the  present 
pastor. 

METHODIST  EPISCOPAL  CHURCH. 

The  first  Methodist  sermon  in  Gray  was  preached  by  Jesse 
Lee,  in  1793,  in  a  barn  near  the  Congregational  church  then 
standing.  Rev.  Philip  Wager  formed  a  class  here  the  same 
year.  A  society  seems  to  have  been  formed  previous  to  1808 
as  thirteen  men  were  recorded  on  the  town  books  in  1807  as 
Methodists.  The  church  was  incorporated  June  10,  1808. 
Gray  became  a  part  of  the  Readfield  circuit  on  its  organization, 
and  Rev.  Stephen  Hull  preached  there  once  in  two  weeks. 
Gray  and  Windham  were  made  a  circuit  in  1844. 

A  building  was  erected  in  West  Gray  in  1840,  and  a 
second  in  the  eastern  part  of  the  town  by  a  branch  styling 
themselves  Protestant  Methodists.  This  meeting-house  was 
moved  to  Gray  village,  rebuilt,  and  re-dedicated  in  July,  1869. 
Regular  services  were  held  here  until  about  1881  when  they 
were  discontinued.  In  1896  this  church  was  again  moved,  this 
time  to  South  Gray,  and  the  charge  placed  under  the  pastor  of 
the  West  Cumberland  church,  with  which  it  has  formed  a 
circuit  since  that  time.  Since  its  removal  the  pastors  have 
been  Revs.  W.  C.  Wentworth,  who  had  the  moving  done;  C.  H. 
Abbott,  1897-98;    D.  Pratt,  1899-1902;    W.  H.  Congdon,  1903, 

still  in  charge 

P  N  IVEKSALIST   SOCIETY. 
We  have  obtained  little  data  concerning  the  early   Univer- 
salist  Bociety  in  Gray  aside  from  that  already  noted  under  the 
Free  Baptist  church. 


Gray,  Maine  17 

The  present  society  was  organized  in  June,  1902,  by  Miss 
Eleanor  B.  Forbes,  assisted  by  State  Superintendent  F.  E.  Bar- 
ton. There  were  twelve  members,  which  number  has  now  in- 
creased to  fifteen.  Miss  Forbes  began  preaching  here  in  May, 
1901,  previous  to  which  Rev.  Geo.  Hamilton  had  preached 
during  the  summer  for  many  years.  A  young  peoples'  Christian 
Union  was  organized  last  July.  Services  are  held  in  Stimson 
Memorial  Hall. 

SCHOOL  ITEMS. 

In  1780  the  sum  of  £350  was  voted  for  the  support  of 
schools,  the  town  was  divided  into  two  districts,  and  in  1785 
Israel  H.  Buker  was  engaged  to  teach  school  a  year,  uat  any 
place  in  town,"  for  £45.  He  was  also  elected  collector,  that 
he  might  collect  his  own  pay. 

Six  schoolhouses  were  erected  between  1793  and  1801. 
Four  lots  of  school  land  were  sold  in  1814  for  $1,171.25,  to 
establish  a  school  fund,  the  interest  of  which  was  $71.25,  in 
1878.  Appropriations  have  been:  in  1788,  £10;  1791,  £30; 
1793,  £40;  1799,  £200;  1820,  $400;  1840,  $600;  1850,  $700; 
1864,  $1,100;  1867-72,  $2,000;  The  town  comprised  12  districts 
in  1878.      Of  the  1615  children  460  attended  school. 

On  April  1,  1902  there  were  406  persons  in  the  town  be- 
tween the  ages  of  four  and  twenty-one;  of  these  the  largest 
registration  was  in  the  spring  term  when  234  were  in  attend- 
ance. Thirty  weeks  of  schooling  are  given  each  year  for  which 
the  sum  of  $1,150  was  raised  in  1902.  The  figures  are  praotically 
the  same  the  present  year.  A  graded  school  is  maintained  at 
the  village,  and  schools  at  Dry  Mills,  North  Gray,  East  Gray, 


18  Gray,  Maine 

South  Gray,  Hunt's  Hill,  The  Field's  District,  and  at  West 
Gray.  The  artistic  and  modern  school  building  at  the  village 
was  erected  in  1902,  at  a  cost  of  about  $2,000.  This  is  fitted 
with  improved  and  modern  conveniences  and  accomodates  both 
grades.  A  new  house  was  erected  last  fall  in  the  Field's 
district,  costing  $800.  The  houses  in  the  other  districts  are  in 
good  repair,  and  the  general  excellence  of  the  school  work 
accomplished  is  to  be  commended. 

PENNELL  INSTITUTE. 

This  magnificent  structure,  the  pride  of  the  town,  was 
erected  and  donated  to  the  town  of  Gray  by  Maj.  Henry  Pen- 
nell,  a  grandson  of  Joseph  Pennell,  Esq.,  an  early  settler  of  the 
town.  The  building  is  situated  in  the  village,  is  a  tine  brick 
edifice  with  a  clock  and  bell  in  its  stately  tower,  and  is  sur- 
rounded by  spacious  and  well-kept  grounds,  which  are  studded 
with  many  beautiful  maples.  The  building  completed  cost 
$20,000;  library,  $3,000;  laboratory,  $2,000.  Major  Pennell 
endowed  the  institution  with  a  fund  of  $25,000,  to  be  held  in- 
tact for  its  perpetual  support. 

The  building  was  begun  in  1876,  and  completed  three  years 
later.  The  school  was  not  opened  until  about  the  year  1886, 
since  which  time  it  haB  been  in  constant  operation.  Lee  Hunt 
was  the  first  principal,  remaining  fur  five  years,  during  which 
time  the  school  became  well  established  as  one  of  the  leading 
fitting  schools  in  the  state.  Succeeding  instructors  have  been: 
Geo.  H.  Larrabee;  W.  B.  Andrews,  live  years,  now  principal  of 
Westbrook    High  School;     E.  H.  Stevens;  Clarence  W.  Pierce, 


Gray,  Maine  19 

who  remained  five  years  and  was  succeeded  by  the  present 
principal,  Chas.  F.  Howland,  in  1903.  Mr.  Pierce  is  now 
principal  of  Greeley  Institute. 

A  new  laboratory  building  was  erected  on  the  grounds  in 
1902,  and  is  a  fitting  brick  structure.  This  school  is  a  free 
high  school  to  the  young  men  and  women  of  Gray  between  the 
ages  of  ten  and  twenty-five,  the  sum  of  $250  being  appropriated 
each  year  by  the  town,  and  a  like  sum  received  from  the  state 
for  that  purpose;  this,  together  with  the  proceeds  from  the 
liberal  endowment  gives  the  institution  ample  support,  a  good 
working  library  and  a  liberal  amount  of  physical  and  chemical 
apparatus  for  the  laboratory.  Miss  Kate  A.  Leslie  is  the  present 
teacher  of  languages,  and  Miss  Mertell  K.  Snow,  of  mathematics 
and  English.  The  members  of  the  board  of  Selectmen  are 
trustees  ex-officio;  together  with  Hon.  M.  P.  Frank,  of  Portland; 
Hon.  W.  H.  Vinton,  Hon.  J.  D.  Anderson,  and  Vinton  E. 
Frank.     M.  P.  Frank  is  president,  V.  E.  Frank,  secretary. 

MILITARY    MATTERS. 

The  noble  Military  record  of  the  town  of  Gray  is  attested 
to  by  the  many  inscriptions  found  on  the  head  stones  of  the 
Revolutionary  and  Civil  war  soldiers  who  lie  buried  in  the 
village  cemetery. 

Moses  Twitched,  who  probably  came  here  with  his  father 
about  1762,  died  in  the  American  Army  in  Canada  in  1775;  his 
son  bearing  the  same  name  was  also  a  soldier  in  this  war. 
Nathan  Noble,  a  settler,  was  killed  in  battle,  October  7,  1777; 
Jonas  Humphrey  served   under   Gen.  Arnold,   re-enlisted,  and 


20  Gray,  Maine 

was  killed  at  the  battle  of  White  Plains.  Ser.  Asa  Libby,  Isaac 
Foster,  and  Jonathan  Hayden  all  enlisted  April  24,  1780,  for 
eight  months'  service.  Other  veterans  of  the  Revolution  who 
settled  here  were  Amaziah  Delano,  Joseph  Allen,  Jas.  Welch, 
Win.  Libby,  Samuel  Stowell,  Jas.  Doughty,  and  Ser.  Samuel 
Thompson.  60-pound  fines  were  paid  by  seventeen  drafted  men 
to  Capt.  Stevens,  April  24,  1780. 

Other  early  military  men  of  the  town  were  Maj.  Jabez 
Mathews,  1778;  Lieut.  Win.  Webster,  1779;  Capt.  James 
Stevens,  1780;  Lieut.  David  Small,  Maj.  Jedediah  Cobb,  Lieut. 
Robert  York,  1786,  Capt.  Daniel  Haney,  Capt.  Jos.  McLellan, 
1790;  Capt.  Jas.  Doughty,  1818;  and  Col.  Mesheck  Humphrey. 
Many  of  these  men  were  familiar  figures  on  the  training  field 
during  militia  practice,  and  doubtless  some  of  them  saw  service 
in  the  fight  for  independence.

PROFESSIONAL  MEN. 
PHYSICIANS. 
Rev.  Samuel  Perley,  the  second  pastor  of  the  local  parish, 
was  a  graduate  of  Harvard,  and  a  practicing  physician.  He 
came  to  the  church  in  178*2,  remaining  until  1791,  during  which 
time  he  attended  to  both  the  spiritual  and  physical  needs  of  the 
settlers.  Dr.  Briggs  probably  located  here  about  1796;  Peter 
Whitney,  1803;    C.  H.  P.  McClellan  in  1795,    and  again  from 


22  Gray,  Maine 


1825  to  28;  Nicholas  H.  Allen,  1841;  J.  D.  Sturgis;  Wm.  W. 
Green,  1863-72,  died  at  sea;  Chas.  L.  Holt,  1872-74;  F.  A. 
Morgan,  dentist,  1869-79;  A.  W.  Anderson,  1876,  for  many 
years;  J.  F.  Newman,  1879;  Dr.  Chas.  Hutchinson,  now  practic- 
ing in  Portland,  was  here  during  the  early  days  of  his  practice. 
There  are  now  three  practicing  physicians  in  town.  Dr. 
E.  T.  Andrews  came  in  1874,  since  which  time  he  has  remained 
in  practice.  His  son,  A.  M.  Andrews  completed  his  studies  and 
began  with  his  father  two  years  ago.  Dr.  Geo.  Ellingwood  has 
been  practicing  here  for  several  years. 

LAWYERS. 
Rev.  Mr.  Perley  seems  also  to  have  performed  the  part  of 
the  early  lawyer,  for  we  are  informed  that  it  was  he  who  did  the 
legal  writing  for  the  pioneers;  it  is  not  supposed  that  he  was 
called  upon  to  settle  any  disputes  in  this  capacity,  but,  as  the 
preacher  of  the  parish  he  may  have  averted  such  contingencies. 
Simeon  Greenleaf  came  in  1807,  he  was  later  connected  with 
Harvard  College;  Joseph  Waterman;  Jas.  B.  Cleveland  in  1831; 
Osgood  Bradbury;  Jas.  O'Donnell  for  several  years  previous  to 
1849.  W.  H.  Vinton  came  in  1849  from  Oxford  and  J.  D. 
Anderson  in  1874.  Hon.  Mr.  Vinton  was  a  member  of  the 
State  Senate  in  1853-54,  1861-62,  and  1877-78-79;  a  member  of 
the  State  Legislature  in  1857  and  1873,  and  president  of  the 
Senate  in  1878.  In  1882  he  was  Independent  Republican  can- 
didate for  governor.  Mr.  Vinton  has  been  closely  connected 
with  the  politics  and  legal  profession  of  the  state;  and  served 
on  the  committee  with  Hon.  Nelson  Dingley  which  originated 
the  present  High  School  bill,  in  1873.

PLACES  OF  HISTORIC  INTEREST. 

There  is  but  little  left  to  mark  the  labors  of  the  first  settlers. 
The  main  interest  of  their  descendants  centres  in  their  last 
resting-place,  a  fine  burying-ground  of  4  acres,  in  the  west  of 
the  village,  commanding  a  magnificent  view  of  the  surrounding 
country.  This  ground  was  donated  by  Daniel  Libby,  and 
fenced  by  the  town  in  1782.  It  contains  many  black  slabs  of 
the  last  century  mingled  with  the  white  marble  of  recent  years, 
and  many  fine  monuments,  most  of  which  are  of  granite, 
erected  since  1865.  There  are  buried  here  6  of  the  pioneer 
deacons,  4  ministers,  9  captains,  6  field  officers,  and  several 
persons  above  ninety;  one  of  whom  was  ninety-six  years 
of  age.  Nearly  all  the  early  settlers  have  been  gathered  from 
private  grounds  in  various  parts  of  the  town  and  buried  here. 

There  are  many  houses  in  the  town  of  Gray  which  are 
surrounded  with  historic  interest  because  of  their  connection 
with  the  early  interests  of  the  town.  The  old  Doughty  house 
at  East  Gray,  long  occupied  by  Hezekiah  Whitney,  is  said  to 
be  the  oldest  house  in  town.  Whether  this  is  older  than  the 
"Eagle  Tavern",  now  the  Elm  House,  seems  doubtful.  Probably 
no  other  spot  in  town  is  shrouded  with  the  unwritten  history 
that  surrounds  this  early  hostlery.  During  the  days  when 
traveling  was  done  by  stage  coaches  the  many  public  houses 
scattered  along  the  lines  of  conveyance  were  places  of  great 
activity  and  the  centers  of  interest.  Many  of  these  were 
located  within  the  town  of  Gray.  The  Elm  House  was  built  by 
Daniel  Haney  previous  to  1800,  and  was  occupied  by  him  until 
1804.     Titus  O.  Brown,  father  of  John  B.  Brown,  of  Portland, 


24  Gray^  Maine 

was  the  next  landlord.  A  few  years  later  Mr.  Brown  went  to 
Norway  when  he  sold  the  Hotel  and  his  residence  next  door  to 
Theophilus  Stimson,  the  father  of  the  donors  of  the  Stimson 
Memorial  Hall.  Mr.  Stimson  kept  the  old  hotel  for  many  years. 
This  is  now  operated  by  Geo.  O.  Stevens. 

Many  of  the  brick  houses  in  town  are  approaehiug  the 
century  mark  while  not  a  few  have  passed  that  point.  There 
are  about  a  dozen  at  the  village  which  were  made,  or  some  of 
them  from  brick  burned  at  the  old  yard  on  the  road  to  Portland, 
about  two  miles  south  of  the  village.  These  houses  are  com- 
modious, with  immense  chimneys  protruding  from  their  roofs, 
all  of  which  speak  of  the  days  when  the  great  forestick  was 
surrounded    by    a  family    of   ten,    twelve,    or    perhaps   fifteen 

children. 

Of  the  wooden  structures  the  old  Webster  house,  built  at 
No.  Gray  in  1805  by  Joseph  Webster,  is  among  the  oldest. 

ITEMS  OF   INTEREST. 

PATRONS  OF  HUSBANDRY. 
Gray  Grange,  No.  41,  was  organized  October  3,  1874,  with 
28  charter  members.  Silas  L.  Adams  was  the  first  master. 
Meetings  were  first  held  in  the  town  hall;  later  the  store  now 
occupied  by  John  Stevens  was  bought  and  used  for  a  time. 
Meetings  have  also  been  held  in  Cobb's  Hall.  In  December, 
l903,thc  place  of  meeting  wan  changed  to  the  fair  building  which 
the  society  bought  of  the  Gray  Park  Association.  Present 
membership,  108.  Meetings  are  held  weekly  and  the  society  is 
in  a  very  prosperous  condition,  and  is  doing  excellent  work  as 


Gray,  Maine  25 

a  social  order.     The  principal  officers  chosen  for  the  year  1905 

are:  F.  H.  Kamsdell,  master;  Mrs.  Geo.  Knight,  overseer;  Miss 

Marcia  Megquire,  lecturer;  and  Samuel  Weymouth,  secretary. 

STIMSON  MEMORIAL  HALL  AND  FREE  LIBRARY. 

Stirason  Memorial  Hall,  located  near  the  central  portion  of 
the  village,  is  the  gift  to  the  town  of  Gray  from  her  liberal  and 
true  sons,  Charles,  George  and  Martin  Stimson,  and  their  sister, 
Mrs.  M.  E.  Ingalls.  These  are  the  sons  and  daughter  of  Theo- 
philus  Stimson,  in  memory  of  whom  the  hall  was  donated.  This 
beautiful  building  consists  of  a  handsome  hall,  library,  and  a 
banquet  room.  One  of  the  conditions  of  the  deed  is  that  it  shall 
be  a  free  house  of  worship  to  the  Universalists  of  Gray. 

The  library  is  located  on  the  second  floor.  This  is  free  to 
the  people  of  Gray,  and  will  contain  a  good  assortment  of  books. 
A  Gray  library  association  has  been  formed  of  which  Harry 
Libby  is  president;  Geo.  Stevens,  treas.;  Rev.  Frank  Pierson, 
sec,  and  Rev.  H.  L.  McCann,  Fred  Ramsdell,  Jas.  T.  Hancock, 
and  the  president  and  treasurer,  directors.  A  book  fund  of 
$1,000  has  already  been  raised,  one-halt  of  which  is  the  gift  of 
Geo.  Stimson,  of  Los  Angeles,  Cal. 


IRew  Gloucester,  /Iftaine 

EARLY  SETTLEMENT. 

A  tract  of  land  six  miles  square  was  granted  to  60  of  the 
inhabitants  of  Gloucester,  Mass.,  by  the  General  Court  of 
Massachusetts  Bay,  under  date  of  March  27,  1736.  These 
grantees  first  located  their  new  township  where  Gorhara  and 
Gray  now  are,  but  finding  that  locality  claimed  under  prior 
grants,  they  located  above  North  Yarmouth,  and  the  General 
Court  confirmed  the  same  to  them  the  5th  of  July,  1737.  That 
y  ear  a  road  was  bushed  out  from  Cousins  river  in  North  Yar- 
mouth, and  one  division  of  lots  was  laid  out,  extending  north- 
cast  and  south-west  from  the  center  of  the  town.  The  survey 
consisted  of  63  lots,  three  of  which  were  reserved  for  each,  the 
rirst  settled  minister,  the  ministry,  and  the  schools.  These  lots 
were  drawn  by  the  proprietors  February  17,  1738.  Ten  days 
later  the  name  of  New  Gloucester  was  adopted,  as  an  earnest 
that  the  new  town  should  prove  to  them  what  old  Gloucester 
had  been  to  their  fathers. 

John  Millett  was  sent  by  the  proprietors  to  improve  the 
road,  build  bridges  and  prepare  the  way  for  the  settlers  who 
soon  followed.  A  few  of  the  proprietors  came  in  the  spring  of 
1739,  and  the  first  clearing  was  begun  on  lot  No.  10,  upon  the 
easterly  slope  of  "Harris  Hill",  by  Jonas  Mason.  The  families 
of  the  settlers,  with  their  goods  came  in  the  fall  of  1742,  when 
the  several  pioneer  homes,  each  surrounded  by  a  narrow  clear- 


New  Gloucester,  Maine  27 

ing  and  separated  by  the  dense  forest,  became  the  soenes  of 
domestic  happiness,  although  maintained  under  serious  difficult- 
ies. In  1744  Capt.  Isaac  Eveleth  was  sent  to  advance  the  in- 
terests of  the  settlement,  but  already  the  tocsin  of  war  rang  out 
its  alarm,  and  five  years  after  the  settlement  had  been  begun 
the  settlers  were  ordered  off  by  the  Governor  of  the  Province, 
lest  they  be  attacked  by  the  Indian  and  French  warriors.  During 
the  five  years  following,  while  they  were  scattered  through  tbe 
coast  settlements  or  returned  to  Gloucester,  their  houses  were 
burned,  their  many  bridges  washed  away,  and  the  mill,  located 
on  Stevens  Brook,  destroyed. 

In  the  fall  of  1749,  the  Proprietary  sent  John  Roberts  and 
four  other  men  to  prepare  the  way  for  renewing  the  settlement, 
but  he  was  prevented  from  doing  this  until  the  fall  of  1752.  The 
grant  was  renewed  the  following  spring,  and  settlers  again  took 
up  their  abandoned  lots.  During  the  fall  of  1753,  and  the 
following  spring  the  Old  Block  House  was  erected,  situated 
on  the  south  side  of  the  Gray  road  a  short  distance  south-west 
of  the  center  of  the  town;  (this  spot  the  town  has  recently  voted 
to  mark  by  a  stone  monument).  This  was  built  of  hewn  timber 
and  fitted  with  two  swivel  guns;  it  served  for  a  home,  a  fort 
and  a  church.  In  July,  James  Proctor,  of  Woburn,  was  sent 
with  six  men  to  garrison  the  fort.  The  same  year  the  fort  was 
attacked  by  Indians,  who  captured  two  men  who  were  without, 
and  killed  and  scalped  a  third. 

The  year  1760  brought  peace  to  the  settlement.  Up  to  this 
time  nearly  all  had  lived  in  the  block  house.  Now  they  began  to 
build  log  houses  upon  their  clearings,  and  additions  were  made 


28  New  Gloucester,   Maine 

to  their  number  by  the  arrival  of  new  families.  The  second 
division  of  lots  was  laid  out,  and  a  road  laid  out  to  New  Boston 
(Gray). 

Of  the  men  that  kept  the  fort,  or  formed  part  of  its 
company  or  garrison,  the  following  persons  with  their  families 
became  the  first  permanent  settlers  in  town:  John  Stenchfield, 
David  Millett,  Wm.  Stevens,  Humphrey  Woodbury,  Samuel 
Worthly,  Benj.  Hammon,  John  Megquire,  John  Stenchfield,  Jr., 
Horton  Mitchell,  Capt.  Nathl.  Eveleth,  Wm.  McLane  and  Wm. 
Stenchfield.  These  comprised  twelve  families.  The  father  of 
Philip  Winslow  was  one  of  the  first  five  men  to  settle  in  town. 
Col.  Isaac  Parsons  settled  on  the  farm  now  occupied  by  his 
grandson,  C.  P.  Haskell,  in  1761;  John  Woodman  settled  the 
same  year,  a  little  south  of  "Woodman's  Bridge".  New  roads 
were  laid  out  each  season,  and  in  1763  twenty-five  new  lots 
were  surveyed.  The  first  meeting  of  the  Proprietary  at  the 
block  house  was  held  November  22,  that  year.  At  this  meeting 
Samuel  Merrill  was  chosen  moderator  and  treasurer;  Isaac  Par- 
sons, clerk;  Jonathan  Tyler,  Daniel  Merrill,  and  Wm.  Harris,  a 
prudential  committee  and  assessors;  Nathl.  Eveleth,  collector; 
and  Wm.  Harris,  surveyor  of  roads.  The  next  year  a  school- 
house  was  built  and  a  school  maintained,  also  a  minister  settled, 
and  the  town  incorporated. 

From  this  time  many  settlers  arrived  each  year  and  this 
settlement,  so  recently  only  a  group  of  clearings  in  the  whole 
township,  took  on  the  appearance  of  a  lively  and  prosperous  in- 
dustrial center.  In  1766  the  third  and  fourth  divisions  of  lots 
were  drawn.      The  latter  was  called  the  pine  timber  division. 


New  Gloucester,  Maine  29 


In  1767  the  fifth  or  Intervale  division;  in  1773  the  sixth  division, 
and  in  1790  the  seventh  and  last  division  was  drawn.  Previous 
to  division  the  meadows  were  held  as  "oommon  lands". 


INCORPORATION, 

On  the  8th  of  February,  1774  the  Proprietary  elected 
Simeon  Noyes,  Ebenezer  Mason  and  Isaac  Parsons  a  committee 
to  petition  the  General  Court  of  Massachusetts  for  an  act  of  in- 
corporation into  a  town.  To  this  petition  the  Court  lent  a 
willing  ear,  and  early  in  the  year  New  Gloucester  became  a 
town. 

A  warrant  was  issued  to  Peleg  Chandler,  by  Col.  Wm. 
Allen,  bidding  him  call  a  meeting  of  the  freeholders  and  others 
qualified  to  vote.  The  first  meeting  was  held  in  the  "Old  Meet- 
ing House"  on  the  7th  of  September,  1774,  when  the  first  board 
of  town  officers  was  chosen.  Simeon  Noyes  was  chosen 
moderator;  Nathl.  Eveleth,  town  clerk;  Simeon  Noyes,  Moses 
Merrill,  and  Samuel  Merrill,  selectmen  and  assessors;  Isaac 
Parsons,  treasurer;  and  Abel  Davis,  constable  and  collector. 

In  1787  the  old  fort  was  sold  for  seven  bushels  of  corn" 
New  Gloucester  became  a  half-shire  town  with  Portland  in 
1792,  remaining  as  such  until  the  organization  of  Oxford  County 
in  1805.  Courts  were  held  in  the  old  schoolhouse;  and  the 
jury  rooms  were  in  the  old  Bell  Tavern,  kept  by  Peleg  Chandler 
on  the  opposite  corner  since  1782.  A  whipping  post  was  erected 
beside  the  pound,  near  by,  and  stocks  were  built  in  which  some 
of  the  community  occasionally  spent  their  Sundays.

INDUSTRIAL    ACCOUNT. 

When  the  drawing  of  lots  was  made  by  the  proprietors  in 
1738  the  men  who  drew  lots  numbered  1,2,  21,  and  22,  near 
Stevens  brook,  were  required  to  give  bonds  to  build  a  saw  mill 
within  two  years,  and  saw  lumber  at  the  halves  for  seven  years. 
The  mill  then  built  was  burned  by  the  Indians,  together  with 
the  homes,  during  the  French  and  Indian  war.  When  the 
settlement  was  renewed  this  mill  was  rebuilt,  and  in  1758,  a 
grist  mill  was  completed  in  connection  with  it.  Prior  to  this 
the  settlers  carried  their  corn  to  North  Yarmouth  (now  Yar- 
mouth) frequently  making  the  trip  of  24  miles  in  a  day  carrying 
the  corn  and  meal  On  their  shoulders. 

From  an  article  written  for  the  Maine  Historical  Society 
by  Col.  Isaac  Parsons  (whose  house,  built  in  1762,  is  yet  stand- 
ing at  the  homestead),  dated  November  6th,  1824,  we  learn  that 
there  was  then  "a  sufficient  number  of  carding  maohines  and 
lulling  mills  for  woolen'',  but  that  "the  wool  was  mostly  spun 
and  woven  in  families.'"  Of  the  manufacturing  industries  then 
in  town,  located  on    Royal's    river    which    makes  a    circuitous 


New  Gloucester,  Maine  33 

* 

course  through  the  town,  there  was  a  saw  mill  at  the  upper  end 
of  Sabbathday  Lake;  and  near  the  upper  corner,  "a  saw  mill,  an 
overshot  double-stoned  grist  mill,  with  a  bolt,  carried  by  the 
wheels,  a  carding  machine,  a  fulling  mill,  a  bark  mill  and 
tannery."  On  a  stream  near  the  center  of  the  town  was  an 
overshot  grist  mill,  and  another  on  Lovell's  Brook.  In  1860 
there  were  six  saw  mills,  two  tanneries,  and  two  grist  mills  in 
town. 

Much  attention  has  been  given  to  agriculture  since  the 
first  settlements  were  made.  Today  the  beautiful  fertile  farms, 
the  neat  homesteads  scattered  throughout  the  town,  many  of 
which  are  spacious  two-story  houses  generally  painted  white, 
and  the  general  appearance  of  thrift  and  prosperity,  all  testify 
to  the  value  of  this  healthful  vocation.  Some  of  the  best  farms 
in  this  section  of  the  state  are  located  in  the  valley  of  Royal's 
river,  within  the  borders  of  this  town.  Much  attention  is  given 
to  dairying  and  dairy  products,  the  land  being  especially  well 
adapted  to  hay.  There  is  a  packing  house  operated  by  the 
United  Packers  which  cans  large  quantities  of  corn,  beans,  to- 
matoes, and  apples.  The  plant  located  near  the  Maine  Central 
railroad  station  was  established  in  1878  by  a  Mr.  Day;  it  was 
operated  by  Mr.  Fields,  then  sold  to  Coller  &  Crockett,  who 
sold  the  business  to  the  present  concern.  L.  L.  Farwell  is 
foreman.  Last  fall  150,000  cans  of  corn  were  packed,  nearly 
all  of  which  was  the  product  of  New  Gloucester  Farms.  This 
is  also  a  good  fruit-growing  section.

PRESENT  MECHANICAL  INDUSTRIES. 

W.  Jordan  &  Co's  saw  mill  at  Upper  Gloucester  was  built 
about  100  years  ago  by  Andrew  Campbell.  It  then  passed  into 
the  hands  of  Maj.  S.  H.  Chandler.  Washington  Jordan  bought 
the  mill  in  1861.  The  gristmill  then  connected  was  discontinued 
about  1863.  This  is  now  a  long  lumber,  shingle,  and  gtave  mill 
and  employs  an  average  of  five  men. 

F.  W.  Winter's  long  lumber  and  box  board  mill  just  below 
Jordan's  was  built  by  Elias  C.  Lane  about  1835,  burned  about 
1865,  and  rebuilt  the  following  year.  Mr.  Lane  operated  the 
saw  mill  until  his  death,  in  1878;  it  was  then  sold  to  Alverdo 
Estes,  who  sold  to  Mr.  Winter  in  1888.  Mr.  Winter  has  made 
two  additions  to  the  mill,  which  is  run  only  during  the  summer; 
in  the  winter  extensive  lumbering  is  carried  on  by  the  proprietor 
thereby  giving  yearly  employment. 

The  mill  site  south  of  Sabbathday  Lake  is  an  old  one. 
William  Small  built  the  present  mill  in  1864  replacing  one 
formerly  owned  by  a  Mr.  Haskell.  After  twenty  years  Mr. 
Small  sold  the  mill  to  Sturgis  &  Merrill;  later  Mr.  Merrill 
operated  it  alone  until  he  took  Frank  M.  Hawks  as  partner. 
Upon  Mr.  Merrill's  death  in  1899  his  sons  succeeded  to  the 
business  as  partners  of  Mr.  Hawks.  Mr.  Hawks  then  sold  to 
D.  A.  Merrill,  the  present  owner.  Eight  men  are  employed 
here  during  the  summer. 

Chandler  Bros',  saw  mill,  located  on  the  Lilly  pond  was 
built  about,  four  y«-*ars  ago.  This  is  a  steam  mill  used  for  sawing 
long  lumber,    clapboards,  shingles,  finish,  etc.;  and  does  more 

■4 

business  than  any  other  plant  in  town. 


New  Gloucester,  Maine  35 


The  grist  mill  at  Intervale,  built  by  Joseph  True  about 
1888,  is  now  owned  and  run  by  F.  M.  Hawks. 

The  well-known  Whitman  Pungs  are  manufactured  at 
Upper  Gloucester  by  R.  H.  Richardson.  This  business  was 
established  by  L.  L.  Whitman  about  1890;  Mr.  Richardson 
bought  the  business  in  1900.  130  of  these  practical  vehicles 
were  manufactured  last  winter,  and  as  many  as  200  have  been 
made  in  a  season.  Mr.  Whitman  is  now  a  famous  automobilist. 
J.  A.  Segars  has  also  been  interested  for  many  years  in  the 
manufacture  of  wagons  and  sleighs  and  is  now  engaged  in  their 
construction  and  repair. 

CHURCH  AFFAIRS. 

CONGREGATIONAL  SOCIETY— FIRST  PARISH. 

For  about  ten  years  after  the  erection  of  the  block  house, 
that  was  the  scene  of  all  public  religious  worship.  In  1764, 
Rev.  Samuel  Foxcroft,  a  Harvard  graduate,  was  called  to  the 
parish.  He  was  given  a  salary  of  £80,  and  a  settlement  of  .£100 
to  be  paid  in  building  material  and  labor.  A  church  was 
gathered  at  once,  consisting  of  the  Pastor,  John  Tufts,  Jabez 
True,  Dan'l  Merrill,  Moses  Woodbury,  Wm.  Stevens,  Ebenezer 
Mason,  and  Peleg  Chandler.  In  1770,  61  persons  subscribed  to 
build  a  house  of  worship  and  the  first  Congregational  meeting- 
house was  erected.  Rev.  Mr.  Foxcroft  remained  for  about 
twenty  years.  In  1793  he  resigned  the  pastorate.  There  were 
several  new  religious  organizations  formed  soon  after,  rendering 
the  parent  church  unable  to  support  a  regular  pastor.  In  1802 
Rev.  Elisha  Mosely   became    pagtor   and  died  in  the    pastoral 


36  New  Gloucester  i  Maine 

office  in  1826,  after  a  long  and  useful  service.  Subsequent 
pastors  have  been:  Rev.  Benj.  Rice,  1828;  Rev.  Samuel  H. 
Shepley,  1838;  Newell  A.  Prince,  1848;  Chas.  Packard,  1854; 
Rev.  W.  R.  Cross,  1865;  Rev.  Mr.  Leavitt,  1879;  F.  D.  Kelsey, 
1880;  Arthur  Shirley,  1885;  H.  G.  Mank,  1888;  J.  C.  Gregory, 
1897;  and  Herbert  H.  Noyes,  1898,  the  present  pastor.  The 
first  meeting-house  was  replaced  by  the  present  building  in  1838. 
This  church  building  was  extensively  remodeled  during  Rev. 
Mr.  Mank's  pastorate;  the  organ  and  choir  gallery  were  changed 
to  the  front  of  the  church,  and  an  alcove  added  for  the  pulpit. 
The  parsonage  was  built  about  1866.  This  church  is  now  in  a 
good  working  condition  with  a  membership  of  176. 

BAPTIST  AND  FREE  BAPTIST  SOCIETIES. 

By  act  of  the  General  Court,  1790,  Mr.  John  Woodman, 
and  72  others,  were  incorporated  as  the  "Baptist  Religious 
Society  of  New  Gloucester  and  Gray".  This  was  afterwaids 
divided,  and  John  Allen,  with  30  others,  became  incorporated 
in  1803  as  the  "Baptist  Society  of  New  Gloucester". 

In  1818,  David  Nelson,  Isaac  Gross,  and  thirty  others, 
certified  to  the  town  clerk  that  they  were  members  of  an  "Un- 
incorporated Particular  Baptist  Society",  and  had  for  their 
religious  teacher,  Elder  Robt.  Lowe,  of  this  town.  This  society 
was  afterwards  known  as  the  Calvinist  Baptist  Society,  over 
which  were  settled  many  able,  pious,  and  learned  pastors.  This 
society  is  now  extinct. 

Services  were  held  by  the  Free  Baptists  as  early  as  1780. 
A  society  was  organized  in  1786,  and  was  incorporated  in  1805 


New  Gloucester,  Maine  37 

as  the  General  Provisional  Anti-Pedobaptist  Church.  Meetings 
were  held  at  the  home  of  Rev.  Ephraim  Stinchfield  from  1787, 
until  1809;  then  in  a  schoolhouse  until  the  erection  of  the 
church  in  1839.  This  was  later  used  as  a  town  house.  Another 
church  was  erected,  on  Gloucester  Hill,  in  1848.  This  society 
generally  employed  settled  pastors  until  about  20  years  ago. 
The  pulpit  was  then  vacant  until  1900  when  Rev.  G.  H.  Grey 
became  pastor.  He  was  succeeded  in  1902  by  Rev.  W.  H. 
Newell,  and  in  1903  by  Rev.  D.  A.  Gammon.  This  church  is 
located  near  the  Gray  line,  and  the  society  contains  many 
members  from  that  town. 

UNIVERSALIST  CHURCH. 

There  were  many  of  this  faith  among  those  who  withdrew 
from  the  First  Parish  Church  during  the  last  of  the  eighteenth 
ci  ntury.  Frequent  services  were  held  previous  to  their  incor- 
poration in  1805.  Rev.  Thomas  Barnes  became  the  pastor  in 
1802,  remaining  until  his  decease,  in  1816.  A  building  was 
erected  at  Gray  Corners  in  1839.  This  was  dedicated  by  Rev. 
Zenas  Thompson,  and  occupied  by  this  society  for  about  20 
years,  when  it  was  sold  to  the  Baptist  society.  Rev.  Geo.  G. 
Hamilton  was  preacher  for  this  society  for  many  years  follow- 
ing 1876.  From  1840  to  that  date  several  pastors  were  em- 
ployed. 

Previous  to  the  fall  of  1900  Rev.  Mr.  Andrews  of  Free- 
port  preached  here  for  two  or  three  years,  during  which  time 
the  interior  of  the  church  in  the  eastern  part  of  the  town  was 
remodeled  and  repaired.     Miss  Eleanor  B.  Forbes,  the  present 


38  New  Gloucester,  Maine 

pastor,  came  to  the  church  in  the  fall  of  1900,  since  which  time 
fourteen  new  members  have  been  added  to  the  church.  But 
three  of  the  old  members  are  now  left.  A  parish  house,  or 
vestry,  was  built  last  fall. 

SCHOOL  ITEMS. 

In  1764  a  public  school  was  established  at  the  center  of 
the  township,  and  there  maintained  until  the  town  was  incorpo- 
rated. A  schoolmaster  was  employed,  and  the  school  kept  in 
different  parts  of  the  town  by  turns  until  1777.  The  school 
money  was  then  divided  into  four  parts,  and  each  of  the  four 
districts  drew  its  part  according  to  its  number  of  scholars. 
Agents  to  employ  the  teachers  were  chosen  by  the  town.  In 
1790  a  new  district  was  formed,  and  in  1803  three  new  districts. 
In  1803  the  school  lands  were  divided  among  the  eight  dis- 
tricts, but  subsequently  formed  into  a  school  fund,  amounting 
to  $4939.93  in  1815.  Not  until  1823  did  the  several  districts 
select  their  own  agents  to  employ  teachers  and  provide  for  the 
schools.  A  superintending  school  committee  was  chosen  to 
look  after  the  welfare  of  the  several  districts.  In  1824  there 
were  ten  districts  in  town.  In  1803  the  sum  of  $600  was  ap- 
propriated for  a  grammar  school  in  four  parts  of  the  town. 

The  development  of  the  sohool  system  of  this  town  com- 
pares favorably  with  that  in  surrounding  rural  towns.  About 
1860  there  were  fourteen  school  districts  and  twenty-two 
schools  in  town.  The  old  district  system  has  now  been  broken 
up,  until  nine  schools,  besides  the  high  school,  accommodate  all 
the  town's  scholars.     The  sohool  at  the  Upper  Coi  ner  is  held  in 


New  Gloucester,  Maine  39 

the  neat  two-story  building,  in  the  second  story  of  which  is  the 
Centennial  Hall,  added  by  the  school  district  in  1876.  There 
are  good  school  buildings  in  the  other  sections  of  the  town. 
There  were,  in  1903,  183  scholars  attending  the  common 
schools,  maintained  at  an  expense  of  around  $25,000. 

HIGH  SCHOOL. 

The  present  high  school  was  established  in  1900,  when  it 
was  placed  under  the  charge  of  E.  P.  Williams,  who  remained 
principal  for  two  years.  He  was  succeeded  by  James  A.  Ham- 
lin of  Brunswick,  in  1902.  During  the  same  year  the  new 
high  school  building  was  erected,  and  finished  in  the  spring  of 
1903,  soon  after  the  opening  of  the  spring  term.  This  building 
is  unique  and  striking  in  architecture,  and  commodious  and  con- 
venient in  all  its  appointments.  It  is  beautifully  finished,  and 
is  fitted  with  the  modern  improvements  generally  found  in  such 
institutions.  Mr.  Hamlin  remained  for  two  years,  during 
which  time  he  did  most  excellent  work  in  the  school.  The 
largest  registration  last  year  was  44,  during  the  winter  term, 
when  the  average  attendance  was  39.  The  present  instructor, 
Mr.  Adams,  came  to  the  school  last  fall.  He  is  assisted  by 
Miss  Twombly. 

MILITARY    MATTERS. 

Scarcely  had  this  town  become  organized  when  clouds 
of  war  blackened  the  horizon,  each  arriving  mail  confirming 
the  opinion  that  they  were  about  to  fall.  Two  companies  of 
infantry,  one  of  cavalry  and  one  of  artillery  were  formed, 
which  included  most  of  the  men  and  boys  within  the  town.     A 


40  JVew  Gloucester,  Maine 

long  list  of  men  fought  in  the  Continental  .Army,  including 
Adj.  John  K.  Smith,  who  served  eight  years  and  seven  months, 
and  was  at  Valley  Forge  under  Washington;  discharged  in 
1783.  Capt.  Benj.  Hammond  was  killed  at  Ticonderoga. 
Capt.  Isaac  Parsons'  company,  of  55  men,  mustered  into 
service  in  May,  1776,  for  eight  months'  service,  under  Brig- 
Gen.  Wadsworth.  As  many  as  75  men  from  this  town,  or  who 
settled  here  after  the  war,  are  known  to  have  served  in  the 
Revolution,  in  the  cause  of  American  Independence. 

In  the  War  of  1812,  Lieut.  Thomas  Johnson,  Jr.,  served 
under  Gens.  Hampton  and  McComb.

listed from  Lewiston,  and  served  in  the  heavy  artillery. 

PROFESSIONAL  MEN. 
PHYSICIANS. 

Dr.  Russell  was  probably  the  earliest  practicing  physician 
in  town,  coming  as  early  as  1776.  Wm.  Bridgham  came  in 
1792.  Dr.  Timothy  Little  was  a  famous  practitioner  and  in- 
structor during  the  early  part  of  the  century,  and  was  a  pro- 
fessor at  Bowdoin  Medical  School  after  practicing  here.  Dr. 
Benj.  H.  Mace,  1827;  Dr.  Joel  Stevens,  1828  (died  in  1835); 
Dr.    Symonds   Baker,    1829;  Dr.  Geo.  Brickett;  Dr.  Boothbay; 


42  New  Gloucester,  Maine 


Dr.  John  P.  Stevens  (died  in  1875);  Dr.  David  Clark,  now  in 
Portland;  Dr.  Benj.  F.  Sturgis  and  Dr.  A.  Q.  Marshall,  were 
all  well  known  physicians  during  the  early  part  and  middle  of 
the  last  century.  Dr.  John  I.  Sturgis  has  practiced  medicine 
here  since  he  came,  about  1874.  Dr.  Alfred  Salle,  now  in 
Auburn,  was  here  at  one  time. 

LAWYERS. 

During  the  years  from  1792  to  1805,  when  the  courts  sat 
here  regularly  each  year,  many  noted  judges  presided,  and  not 
a  few  famous  men  of  this  order  had  their  homes  in  town.  Hon. 
Wm.  Widgery,  one  of  the  most  prominent  men  of  his  time,  was 
a  representative  in  the  Twelfth  Congress  of  the  U.  S.  A.  in 
1810,  and  was  judge  of  the  Court  of  Common  Pleas  until  his 
death,  in  1832. 

Ezekiel  Whitmaa  practiced  law  in  New  Gloucester  from 
1802  to  1817,  when  he  removed  to  Portland,  and  became  chief 
justice  of  the  Superior  Court  of  Maine.  A.  K.  Paris  and  Josiah 
W.  Mitchell  read  law  in  his  office  while  here.  Nathan  Weston, 
judge  of  the  Superior  Court,  came  in  1806;  removed  in  1809. 

Gen.  Samuel  Fes*.enden  began  practice  here  in  1809,  and 
remained  eight  years.  Peleg  Chandler,  a  student  in  his  office 
here,  became  judge  of  the  Court  of  Sessions  in  1809,  and  after- 
wards moved  to  Augusta;  died  in  1848. 

William  and  Osgood  Bradbury,  brothers,  were  early  phy- 
sicians in  t<>wn.  For  several  years  there  has  been  no  resident 
lawyer.

ITEMS  OF  INTEREST. 

NEW  GLOUCESTER  AND  DANVILLE  AGRICULTURAL 
ASSOCIATION. 

This  association  was  incorporated  Dec.  8,  1890,  succeed- 
ing the  New  Gloucester  and  Danville  Agricultural  Society. 
There  were  22  members.  The  annual  exhibitions  and  trots  are 
held  at  the  old  grounds  of  the  former  organization,  located  in 
the  valley  of  the  Royal  river,  near  Upper  Gloucester.  The  pur- 
pose of  this  organization  is  the  advancement  of  agriculture, 
horticulture,  and  the  general  interests  of  husbandry.  Two 
days'  fair  are  generally  held  each  year,  but  in  1903  this  was 
changed  to  a  three  days'  session.  The  neat  grand  stand  and 
the  judges'  stand  were  bought  of  the  Gray  Park  Association, 
which  was  an  organization  of  the  same  nature  operated  at 
Gray  village  up  to  1902.  There  are  also  a  new  water  tank  and 
sheds.  The  association  is  in  good  working  order,  and  is  well 
attended.  The  officers  for  1905  are  0.  H.  Campbell,  Pres.; 
.].  D.  Kirkpatrick,  Vice  Pres.;  J.  P.  Witham,  Sec;  Geo.  W. 
Haskell,  Treas. 

PATRONS  OF  HUSBANDRY. 

New  Gloucester  Grange,  No.  28,  organized  September, 
1874,  had  18  charter  members.  The  organization  was  made  in 
the  old  Town  Hall,  where  the  meetings  were  held  for  several 
years.  From  1885  to  1897  they  were  held  at  the  Grange  Hall, 
in  the  lower  part  of  the  town.  The  present  hall  at  the  Lower 
Corner  was  bought  of  M.  R.  Berry  in  1900.     The  first  Master 


44  New  Gloucester,   Maine 

was  Solomon  Plummer.  Masters  since  1892:  Chas.  N.  Fogg, 
Geo.  W.  Hatch,  Joseph  S.  True,  J.  W.  Rideout,  John  W.  True, 
Frank  Cummings,  S.  F.  Sweetser,  and  Joseph  S.  True,  elected  in 
1904.  Officers  for  1905:  J.  S.  True,  M.;  8.  F.  Sweetser, 
O.;  A.  D.  True,  Lee;  Sarah  M.  True,  Sec.  S.  F.  Sweetser 
is  a  member  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  State  Grange. 

Sabbathday  Lake  Grange,  No.  365,  was  organized  in  the 
fall  of  1900,  with  about  25  charter  members.  Brackets  Hall 
was  used  as  a  place  of  meeting  until  the  new  hall,  dedicated 
Oct.  16,  1903,  was  opened  for  use.  This  is  located  at  the  south 
end  of  Sabbathday  Lake,  and  was  built  by  the  organization  at  a 
cost  of  about  $2000;  it  is  used  for  rdigious  and  agricultural  pur- 
poses. The  Masters  have  been  Chas.  W.  Shackford,  Davis  A. 
Merrill,  C.  W.  Shackford,  and  E.  C.  Hackett,  elected  for  1905. 
Other  officers  for  1905  are  A.  C.  Hodgkins,  Over.;  Dr.  Geo. 
Ellenwood,  Lee;  and  Mrs.  E.  C.  Hackett,  Sec. 

OTHER   ITEMS. 

A  beautiful  free  public  library  was  erected  at  the  village  in 
1896.  For  this  a  liberal  sum  was  received  from  the  Walker 
library  fund,  and  a  generous  appropriation  made  by  the  town. 
This  is  located  near  the  town  house  and  the  new  high  school 
building.  There  is  a  good  assortment  of  over  4000  volumes. 
Miss  Helen  A.  Mosley  is  librarian. 

The  new  Masonic  Hall  at  Upper  Gloucester  is  one  of  the 
finest  structures  in  town.  This  was  erected  in  1902,  and  dedi- 
cated in  June,  1903,  commemorating  the  centennial  anniversary 
of  the  organization  of  Cumberland  Lodge.

SHAKER  VILLAGE,  AND  SOCIETY. 

The  people  of  this  interesting  community,  whose  farm  of 
2000  acres  is  situated  on  the  west  shore  of  Sabbathday 
Lake,  near  the  western  corner  of  the  town,  are  deserving 
of  especial  mention.  The  Shaker  Society,  of  which  there 
are  several  communities  in  New  York  and  New  England, 
was  founded  by  Ann  Lee.  She  came  to  America  in  1774,  soon 
after  which  she  had  gained  quite  a  following,  and  established 
the  first  American  community  of  Shakers  at  Niskayuna,  now 
Watervliet,  N.  Y. 

In  November,  1782,  Elisha  Pote,  Nathan  Freeman,  Joseph 
Stone  and  Enoch  Waite  came  from  Gorham,  Me.,  into  what  was 
then  called  Thompson  Pond  Plantation,  and  held  meetings  in 
the  house  of  Gowen  Wilson,  Sr.  Mr.  Pote  was  the  leading 
speaker,  but  all  were  preachers  and  singers,  and  soon  their 
clear  reasoning  and  convincing  ways  won  many  converts  to 
their  faith.  Among  these  were  Gowen  Wilson,  Nathan,  James 
and  Edmund  Merrill,  Josiah,  Simeon  and  Gersham  Merrill, 
Thomas  Pote,  Samuel  Pote,  Barnabas  and  Ephraim  Briggs,  and 
Thomas  Cushman,  together  with  their  wives  and  children,  and 
many  others.  These  were  organized  into  a  society  April 
19,  1794,  under  the  leadership  of  Elder  John  Barnes  from 
Alfred,  Robert  McFarland  from  Gorham,  and  Eldresses  Sarah 
Kendall  and  Lucy  Prescott  from  Harvard,  Mass.  The  first 
Board  of  Trustees  appointed  were  Nathaniel  Merrill  and  Barna- 
bas Briggs,  who  at  once  commenced  to  build  the  present  settle- 
ment. The  meeting-house,  now  standing,  was  raised  the  follow- 
ing   June,    and    was    finished    and    ready    for    occupancy    on 


46  New  Gloucester,  Maine 

Christmas  Day.  The  central  dwelling  was  completed  soon 
after.  From  this  time  this  was  the  scene  of  great  activity,  the 
brick,  nails,  building  material,  and  many  other  articles  needed 
by  the  community  were  made  by  members  of  the  society.  A 
grist  mill  had  been  built  by  the  combined  labor  of  the  brethren, 
in  1786,  on  a  little  stream  about  forty  rods  east  of  their  present 
stately  mill.  In  1796  a  saw  mill  was  built.  In  this  building 
were  later  installed  turning  lathes  and  card  machines,  which 
were  transferred  to  the  present  mill  when  that  was  erected  in 
1853.  The  manufacture  of  cloth  by  the  sisters,  and  the  manu- 
facture of  wooden  ware,  preparing  garden  seeds  for  the  market, 
and  returns  from  the  labor  of  the  men  on  the  farm,  gave  them 
financial  success. 

From  that  time  to  the  present  this  community  has  main- 
tained their  integrity,  and  have  gained  the  admiration  and  re- 
spect of  those  who  know  them  best.  They  are  peculiar  only  in 
their  manner  of  domestic  relations,  and  this  manner  is  con- 
sidered peculiar  only  because  uncommon.  They  are  accounted 
to  be  of  the  best  people  of  the  county,  law-abiding,  honest,  in- 
dustrious, and  extremely  hospitable.  They  have  changed  the 
nature  of  their  manufactured  articles  from  time  to  time.  The 
chief  maintainanee  of  the  community  at  the  present  time  is  the 
returns  received  from  the  sale  of  the  sisters'  work,  the  product 
of  the  farm,  and  the  manufacture  of  boxes  in  which  Poland 
water  is  shipped.  Cloaks  made  after  the  pattern  of  those  worn 
by  the  Shaker  sisters  one  hundred  years  ago  are  now  made  of 
fancy  and  elegant  material,  and  are  in  great  demand  by  those 
in  fashionable  circles    for    opera    cloaks.     Work    baskets,  hair 


New  Gloucester,  Maine  47 


brushes,  needle  and  pin  cushions,  and  many  other  fancy  articles 
are  made  by  them,  and  orange  peel,  lemon  peel,  and  nuts  are 
preserved;  all  of  which  are  sold  at  Poland  Springs,  Mt.  Desert, 
Rangeley  Lakes,  and  other  fashionable  summer  resorts. 

At  present  there  are  46  members.  A  new  cottage  was 
erected  for  the  little  girls'  home  two  years  ago.  An  efficient 
water  system  was  installed  at  the  same  time,  and  the  several 
homes  are  connected  by  local  telephone  with  one  another,  while 
the  Pine  Tree  line  connects  the  community  with  the  business 
world. 

The  Novitiate  Order,  which  moved  to  Poland  from  Gorham, 
in  1819,  and  formed  the  village  formerly  located  about  a  mile 
north  of  this,  was  sold  to  Hiram  Pucker  &  Sons  in  18S7,  and 
the  family  removed  to  this  village.  There  are  now  but  two  of 
this  order  living;  Adeline  Haskell,  and  her  daughter,  Elizabeth. 

The  organization  of  the  United  Society  oonsists  firstly  of 
the  ministry  composed  of  four  members  and  presiding  over  two 
or  more  societies.  Second  in  importance  are  the  elders  who 
preside  at  the  head  of  each  family,  and  third  are  the  trustees  to 
whom  is  intrusted  tho  management  of  the  temporal  and  financial 
affairs  of  the  community.  Space  allows  us  to  name  only  those 
now  filling  these  offices,  but  we  would  add  that  they  are  the 
worthy  successors  to  a  long  list  of  noble  men  and  women  whose 
consecrated  devotion  to  the  welfare  and  integrity  of  the  society 
has  left  behind  them  an  honored  and  respected  memory. 

The  Ministry  of  the  Bishopric,  presiding  over  this  and  the 
Community  at  Alfred  consists  of  Elder  William  Dumont, 
Eldress  Lizzie  M.  Noyes,  and  Eldress  Elizabeth  Haskell.

Census,  1905. 


The  population  of  the  towns  of  Gray  and  New  Gloucester 
has  been  arranged  in  families  where  that  arrangement  has  been 
possible.  In  these  families,  in  addition  to  the  resident  living 
members,  the  names  of  the  non-resident  members  are  included. 
It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  this  plan  does  not  include  the 
names  of  all  former  residents,  as  the  names  of  the  non-residents 
appear  only  when  one  or  both  of  the  parents  are  still  living  in 
the  towns.  After  the  name  of  each  non-resident  will  be  found 
the  present  address,  when  such  address  has  been  given  to  us. 
The  non-residents  are  indicated  by  the  star  (*).  In  case  a 
daughter  in  a  family  has  married,  her  name  taken  in  marriage 
appears  after  her  given  name  in  parenthesis  (  ),  preceded  by 
a  small  (m). 

Following  the  names  of  the  population  is  the  occupation. 
To  designate  the  occupations  we  have  used  the  more  coram  >n 
abbreviations  and  contractions.  Some  of  these  follow:  Farmer — 
far;  carpenter — car;  railroad  service — R.  R.  ser;  student,  a 
member  of  an  advanced  institution  of  learning — stu;  pupil,  a 
member  of  a  lower  grade  of  schools — pi;  housework — ho; 
laborer — lab;  physician — phy;  clergyman — clerg;  merchant — 
mer;  teacher — tr;  blacksmith — blk;  clerk — cl;  book-keeper — 
bk  kpr;  lawyer — law;  mechanic — mech;  engineer — eng;  insur- 
ance— ins;  maker — mkr;  worker — wkr;  work — wk;  carriage 
work — car  wk;  painter — ptr;  electrician — elec;  poultryman — 
pit;  mill  operative — mill  op;  lumberman — lum;  teamster — team; 
shoe  shop  work — s  s  wk;  mariner — mar.
